How do you keep you and um Russell's
0:04
marriage so grounded? Like you guys are
0:06
like the epitome of what a Proverbs 31
0:10
woman and what um um how can I say uh a
0:15
James is like you guys are like perfect
0:18
together. So how do y'all keep
0:21
You know honestly speaking of the verses
0:24
we it all always comes back to God and
0:26
Jesus. We say Jesus at the center.
0:28
And that's important for us because
0:30
sometimes if you rely on man like as in
0:32
yourself to like you know navigate
0:34
through murky waters sometimes when the
0:36
when the the waves start to rock a
0:38
little bit it can get a little tricky.
0:40
So for us it's having Jesus at the
0:42
center you know um and like I said
0:44
earlier it comes back to love you know
0:46
it's like when we have a we talk about
0:48
being equally yolked. being equally
0:49
yolked is really important, right?
0:51
Because I think that eliminates a lot of
0:53
the battles you could have when you're
0:54
not, you know, so having that place um,
0:58
you know, or having that foundation is
1:00
important for us, but it all comes back
1:01
to love. It all comes back to, you know,
1:03
Jesus at the center and communication.
1:06
You know, communication rules a nation.
1:07
Sometimes it's hard to communicate,
1:10
especially when you have disagreements.
1:12
And we're really big on, you know,
1:14
finding ways to do it. You know, Russ
1:16
will be the bigger person sometimes. I'm
1:18
so stubborn. I don't want to be the
1:20
bigger person sometimes, but I gotta be.
1:22
Also, not going to bed mad.
1:25
That is really important.
1:30
One time, honestly, out of all the
1:31
years. And now this is our 10th year
1:35
But it's it's not it's a rare it's a
1:37
rare sighting for that to happen in the
1:39
Wilson household. Yeah. Like
1:41
we don't go to bed mad. Um and I'm
1:43
trying to think of that one time if we
1:45
woke up and figured it out. But, you
1:47
know, we're really big on that, you
1:48
know, and and I'll give it to Russ as a
1:50
man. Like, he will step up and like
1:53
communicate, you know, and it's a
1:55
beautiful thing to see him do that.
1:57
Um, because I know it's hard for y'all
1:59
men folk to really do that, too. You
2:02
depends. It depends. For real, man. You
2:04
going to figure it out, you know?
2:05
You going to figure Well, you know, like
2:06
even for me, I am stubborn, you know. I
2:10
I'm a Scorpio, you know, like we said,
2:12
we can't be stubborn in our ways like
2:14
and we proud, you know, but it's like we
2:17
gotta, you know, humble ourselves. Um,
2:20
and just, you know, like I say, it comes
2:22
back to Jesus. Like the fact that we can
2:23
pray together is so huge. The fact that
2:25
we have that understanding and
2:27
foundation is gamechanging.
2:30
Um, you know, it's powerful and we grow
2:32
together spiritually, which is
2:33
important, too. Like that deepens the
2:36
For sure. How do you define being
2:38
equally yolked, Cece? Like some people
2:41
may look at it as we have to be exactly
2:43
the same like twins. We got to make the
2:45
same amount of money. We have to have
2:47
the same strengths, but there's also a
2:49
way to look at it as harmony, right?
2:51
Yeah. It's more so like for me the
2:52
spiritual foundation part of it, right?
2:55
you know, we have a a equal
2:57
understanding and foundation and desire
3:00
to grow spiritually and our love for
3:03
God, our love for Jesus, like we have
3:05
that as a base foundation, but also too
3:07
in our aspirations and the things that
3:09
we dream of and how we want to do them.
3:11
Like it's parallel. Like we talked about
3:14
how when we first started, you know,
3:15
dating and talking, we were talking
3:17
about our dreams. We shared our dreams
3:19
and our goals and they were in
3:21
alignment. So it's amazing because you
3:23
fast forward to I can get goosebumps
3:25
thinking about it. We have our why not
3:27
you productions you know company um
3:29
that's based the why not you name is
3:31
from our why not you foundation right
3:33
and he always loved helping kids you
3:36
know always would spend time at the
3:37
children's hospitals I always wanted to
3:40
do it and then I meet the love of my
3:42
life our passions link up and now we do
3:44
it together through our why not you
3:45
foundation right we were able to launch
3:47
our why not you children's book you know
3:50
together we have a why not you charter
3:52
school in Washington and that was our
3:55
first academy and our goal is to create
3:56
more. But again, doing it together, our
3:59
why not you centers, we wanted to we
4:01
always wanted to provide like little
4:02
like centers and spaces for kids. And we
4:04
kicked it off in Pittsburgh with our
4:06
first why not you center with the Boys
4:07
and Girls Club. I did another one. I
4:10
launched our next one in Atlanta, which
4:11
is the dance center. And now we're about
4:13
to introduce three more Yu centers in
4:15
the tri-state area, you know, while
4:16
we're living in New York. So it goes
4:18
back to alignment, right? Like when
4:21
you're aligned AC in mostly every area
4:24
to me the only way is up and it and
4:27
eliminates you having differences. Like
4:29
think about it right when you if two
4:31
people come together and one just loves
4:34
red and one loves blue and are hardcore
4:37
about the colors right
4:40
there. It's just you're it's going to be
4:41
you're going to always find like I'm not
4:43
saying like colors but you know what I'm
4:44
going to say like the things that you
4:45
the way you see life like principles
4:47
like if your values if you are you have
4:50
two different mindsets doesn't mean e
4:52
one person is wrong or the other
4:54
person's right it's just harder when you
4:57
don't match in most areas in life. So
5:00
thankfully I met my match. Like I met
5:02
the person that if I look across him,
5:04
he's the male version of me and vice
